/biz/ - Business & Finance

>>54242336
approximately ten years ago when r/wallstreetbets and /biz/ were young, there was this guy Martin Shkreli who somehow became the CEO of a pharmaceutical company at 30 years old and his strategy was to increase the price of all its medicine by 10x to make more money at the expense of sick people who were forced to pay whatever price Martin Shkreli set for their life-saving medicine.

A lot of people on /biz/ and WSB thought he was cool because he was a 30-year-old CEO who was willing to do horrible things to get rich. He started livestreaming and sharing his financial and business knowledge, which made him more popular.

However, even though Shkreli was just doing the exact same thing that every other pharmaceutical company does, he was bragging about it instead of doing it quietly, so the US government decided to make an example out of him. They brought him in front of Congress for a hearing and he was a smug asshole to them. That made them even more mad so they made up some bullshit and put him in jail for 5 years or so.

Now he's out of jail and he still livestreams for anyone who wants to learn more about finance, business, etc.

Bless you for keeping these threads alive
